This paper provides a broad perspective and analysis of the work done in control of hybrid
and convertible unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for the main existing designs. These flying …

This article is an introduction to feedback control design for a family of robotic aerial vehicles
with vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) capabilities such as quadrotors, ducted-fan tail …

In this paper, a novel nonlinear control strategy along with its simulation for a quadrotor
helicopter is proposed. The normal 6-DOF dynamic model of the quadrotor based on the …

Autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that can execute aggressive (ie, high-speed
and high-acceleration) maneuvers have attracted significant attention in the past few years …

Parametric uncertainties and coupled nonlinear dynamics are inherent in quadrotor
configuration and infer adaptive nonlinear approaches to be used for flight control system …

Over the last decade, considerable interest has been shown from industry, government and
academia to the design of Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) autonomous aerial …

This paper exposes the Navigation and Control technology embedded in a recently
commercialized micro Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), the AR. Drone, which cost and …

In this paper, we propose a new quaternion-based feedback control scheme for exponential
attitude stabilization of a four-rotor vertical takeoff and landing aerial robot known as a …

The design of a flight control system capable of not only stabilising attitude but also tracking
a trajectory accurately for an under-actuated quadrotor aircraft is quite challenging. This …

Typical quadrotor aerial robots used in research weigh< 3kg and carry payloads measured
in hundreds of grams. Several obstacles in design and control must be overcome to cater for …
